Alicante TRAM shake-up as single tickets rise to €2 and new monthly passes launch

Public transport passengers in Alicante are facing a new fare structure from October 1, with changes affecting the TRAM d’Alacant and other services across the Valencian Community.

The changes introduce new unlimited monthly travel passes while also increasing the cost of some tickets, including the standard single TRAM fare.

For passengers who regularly use the network, the new monthly passes could offer a simpler way to travel, while occasional users will notice the increase in the price of individual journeys.

Single TRAM ticket rises to €2

One of the most noticeable changes is the increase in the price of a standard single ticket on the TRAM d’Alacant.

The fare has risen from €1.45 to €2, meaning passengers buying an individual ticket will now pay 55 cents more for a journey.

The price of a 10-trip TRAM pass has also increased, moving from €4.80 to €5.40.

However, discounts currently applied to public transport fares mean eligible passengers can continue to benefit from reduced prices. With the existing 40 per cent discount, the 10-trip ticket works out at around 54 cents per journey.

Other TRAM d’Alacant fares have also been updated, including return, 30-trip, 24-hour and group tickets.

The changes bring the TRAM’s single fare into line with the equivalent price on the Metrovalencia network.

New unlimited monthly passes

One of the biggest changes for regular passengers is the introduction of new Móbilis Monthly and Móbilis Monthly Jove passes.

Unlike traditional multi-trip tickets, the new passes allow unlimited travel for 30 days.

The standard Móbilis Monthly pass costs €35, while the Móbilis Monthly Jove pass, aimed at younger passengers, costs €29.75.

The move is designed to make the fare system easier to understand while giving frequent public transport users an alternative to repeatedly buying individual or multi-trip tickets.

For commuters who use public transport most days, an unlimited monthly option could also make it easier to calculate their regular travel costs.

Discounts continue

Despite the changes, a number of public transport discounts remain available.

Children aged up to 14 can continue to travel for free, while younger passengers can benefit from reduced fares on eligible tickets.

Passengers under the age of 31 can continue to access discounts of up to 50 per cent, depending on the type of ticket and journey.

The general 40 per cent discount on qualifying public transport titles also remains in place until the end of 2026.

This means the amount passengers actually pay can vary considerably depending on their age, the type of ticket they use and whether they qualify for one of the existing reductions.

What Alicante passengers need to know

The new system represents a wider effort to bring public transport fares across the Valencian Community closer together.

For occasional TRAM users, the increase in the single ticket price will be the most immediate change.

For commuters and other regular passengers, meanwhile, the new unlimited monthly passes provide another option, particularly for those making multiple journeys each week.

Anyone with an existing transport card or multi-trip ticket should check the conditions applying to their particular fare before travelling, as the new pricing structure includes several different ticket types and discounts.

The changes affect public transport users from October 1, making it important for passengers to check the latest fares before purchasing their next ticket.
